or something and he would be down to talk to him later. We had a shower at the club.
So, he went in and showered and this and that, and that night Jack asked me did we still have the little cot around there that Larry was going to stay at the club a while--he didn't have anywhere to live, and I told him, "Yes," and showed Larry where he could find if and he was there ever since.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he tell you what Larry was supposed to do around the club?

Mr. Armstrong.

Well, Larry was supposed to do a little cleaning and things of that nature.

Mr. Hubert.

Was that. supposed to be to relieve you of the cleaning job?

Mr. Armstrong.

That was supposed to be to help me out with the cleaning job.

Mr. Hubert.

When was Larry supposed to do that?

Mr. Armstrong.

Whenever he got up or whenever he had time.

Mr. Hubert.

Usually, what did he do?

Mr. Armstrong.

Usually he read books.

Mr. Hubert.

What I mean, is, when you got there at your usual time, had he begun to clean up?

Mr. Armstrong.

Usually he had begun to clean up.

Mr. Hubert.

He hadn't finished though?

Mr. Armstrong.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

Wasn't it your custom, or duty to wake him up every morning?

Mr. Armstrong.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

You didn't call him every morning to wake him up?

Mr. Armstrong.

No. If he was asleep I didn't even bother him. Usually he was awake, but there was sometimes that he was asleep and I didn't bother him.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he get paid?

Mr. Armstrong.

That, I don't know.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you ever see him take any money out of the cash register?

Mr. Armstrong.

I had given him money out of the cash register.

Mr. Hubert.

How much?

Mr. Armstrong.

Oh, a few bucks to eat off of. If he asked me for a couple of dollars, I would give it to him and let him sign a slip for it.

Mr. Hubert.

Was that authorized by Ruby?

Mr. Armstrong.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

He had told you to do so?

Mr. Armstrong.

He told me to do so.

Mr. Hubert.

Had he given you any limit as to how much it would be?

Mr. Armstrong.

No; he hadn't given me any limit.

Mr. Hubert.

What would you do, make a slip to record it?

Mr. Armstrong.

Make a slip to record it.

Mr. Hubert.

And it amounted to what--to $2 or $3 a day?

Mr. Armstrong.

Something like that from $2 to $3--a couple of bucks a day.

Mr. Hubert.

You never gave him a regular salary?

Mr. Armstrong.

No; I didn't myself.

Mr. Hubert.

But what you know about it is--it never was over $2 or $3 a day?

Mr. Armstrong.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he stay around the club at night when the shows were on?

Mr. Armstrong.

He stayed there.

Mr. Hubert.

What was he supposed to do then?

Mr. Armstrong.

Go to sleep if he wanted to.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he take par, t in any of the operation of the club? Like handling the lights, for example?

Mr. Armstrong.

He did handle the lights some. I tried to teach him how to work the lights, but he never did learn too well.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he do any other things around the club at night?

Mr. Armstrong.

No more than clean up, and that's all.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he eat there?

Mr. Armstrong.

He usually went out to eat--there was no food there. Well,
